Adorned Nails: Teeez Gutsy 05

This is what I'm wearing on my nails this Christmas. It is far from a typical Christmas look but that's fine. I'd been wanting to give sponging/gradation another shot anyway (the only time I had ever tried this was more than a year ago).

This is Gutsy (05), a fairly new polish from Teeez. It's a nude peach with subtle shimmer. With its thick formula, it was possible to get by with one thick coat. On a couple of nails, I have one coat on, on others two.

Dutch brand Teeez launched a new collection last month called Boudoir Secrets, which included a range of lipglosses, eyeliners, mascaras and, of course, nail polishes. Teeez kindly sent out samples of these to some Dutch ladies recently, including myself, so this is the first of the items to be featured.

As you can see, the nail polish bottle looks different from before (surely you remember the awesome holos - Outta Control, Smooth and Cool).

Unusual, and Very pretty! I am glad you tried sponging again, it is one of my favorite methods. I even received a compliment from a gentleman architect on one of my sponged manis. Keep trying them and you'll see :0)

@GottwinkiesThank you for your encouraging words, Gottwinkies! Your mani that caught the attention of the gentleman must have a gorgeous gradation! I think this second attempt of mine turned out better than the first, so yes, I will certainly be doing more of this in the future! :)

@Adorable On Your VanityThank you very much, my dear! Do give it a shot (you can use any sponge that you have at home, really) and try a dark-to-light gradation instead. :)
